Retired academic : lecturer in marketing at Plymouth University. Having spent a career in marketing and advertising, the last 10 years teaching students to think about marketing and consumerism has led me to question not only the role of marketing which must be much more responsible for the environment and general wellness, but also the paradox between marketing and the consumption of earth resources. I now spend time reading other people's opinions on both these questions.

Hello, I'm a writer and a health worker. I would like to have your critics about my ideas. First : to run our countries, our presidential elections, which are highly expensive, could be replaced by a competitive exam with scientific subjects like mathematics, physics, biology. The competitive exam would be open to everyone for a very small amount of money. They would be really democratic. (Far more democratic than the actual system. I don't want to vote because I don't know if the candidate will be able. What tells me that a candidate is intelligent ? Nothing. Mathematics does the job. It must be completed with some other knowledged but no longer communication abilities and dirty money).  Second idea : I m a health worker and my patients are elderly persons that lose their autonomy. They must often go in retirement home which is very expensive and sad. They would like to stay home if they could. They could do so if they had someone who would live at their home to care for them at night. They often fall at night. This is the main reason why they can t stay home. Having someone who lives at your home is very expensive. Impossible.  Besides many refugies do not have a home to stay. I would like to promote the idea of an organisation that would do the link between the 2 needs. An organisation that would supervise that there is no abuse like modern slavery. The elderly person could pay a small money for that organisation. Refugies would no longer be a charge for the nations but would be savers.
